Error 18483 while configuring distributor

I want to setup a publisher, distributor and subscriber on the same machine.
While configuring my distributor using Wizard, I received the following
error:
Error 18483: Could not connect to server 'HONB" because "distributor_admin"
is not defined as a remote login at the server.
I am using SQL Server Developer version and "HONB" is my computer name. Can
someone tell what I have mis-configed?
This is usually a naming issue.
Try:
Use Master
go
Select @.@.Servername
This should return your current server name but if it
returns NULL then try:
Use Master
go
Sp_DropServer 'Server1'
GO
Use Master
go
Sp_Addserver 'Server1', 'local'
GO
Stop and Start SQL Services
If this is not the issue, but you are working across non-trusted doamins
there is the same error, so you might want to have a look at his article:

|||I tried to run the sql, the servername is ok.
I read articale, but it seems not related to my problem, since I want to
setup the replication on a single machine.
Is it related to sql server agent? I am using system account as the startup
account in Sql server agent.

|||The system account is OK if it is all done on the same box.
You might be able to use sp_remoteoption and sp_addremotelogin to fix the
issue.
HTH,
Paul Ibison
|||can you remove replication, and then re-install it.
